I know what you mean, sort of. Recently I chucked out all my stripy socks (which you no doubt remember well) because they don't feel like "me" any more. Although oddly now I actually feel *more* inclined to wear slogans and pictures on my chest, rather than less.
I think once you get more comfortable with yourself you feel less need to ostentatiously nail your colours to a given mast; and it's also eternally true that People Are Thick and Appearances Count For Far Too Much. So professionalism, which is a set of relationships founded entirely on people you've barely met, is going to have a strong element of visual conformity as an indicator of the individual's willingness to subscribe to the notional "professional" norm.
On the other hand if you start wearing long-sleeved polo shirts because they're "smarter" I will hang you upside down from Marks and Spencers :) |
